Twenty-three lucky Lotto players will be enjoying a boost to their bank account after each winning $10,782 with Lotto Second Division in Saturday night's Lotto draw.

The winning Second Division tickets were sold at the following stores:

All of New Zealand is now in the Covid-19 Protection Framework - otherwise known as the traffic light settings. Lotto NZ counters can open at all traffic light settings providing retailers comply with health and safety guidelines set out by the Ministry of Health. 

The live Lotto draws are unable to take place while Auckland is in Red under the traffic light settings. 'We will be using computer-generated draws under Audit New Zealand scrutiny for Lotto, Powerball, and Strike while Auckland is in Red,” says a Lotto NZ spokesperson.
